It´s my birthday and I have the same birthday wish I´ve had all my life: A Free Syria.

Since it seems like this may take a while, I´ve come up with a smaller birthday wish: To collect money and send it to Syria at these extremely difficult times. To use my birthday to start my own fundraising for Syria.

I have friends in the country, people I trust they will make sure the money reaches whoever really needs it. I also have friends in the rest of the world who stand in solidarity with Syria and would love to help. So what can I do? I can mediate between you guys. Here´s how this works:

Today I opened an account on Triodos Bank (sustainable banking) so that you can make your donation easily. The only purpose of this account is this fundraising: This is the number:

Account: 1491 0001 25 2038245011

IBAN: ES 211491 0001 25 2038245011

BIC: TRIOESMMXXX

Concept: Syria

On Monday, October 15, I´ll check the account and will transfer the money to different friends who live in Syria. They will make sure this reaches people in their communities, people who are in real need in Aleppo, Hama, Homs, and the rest of the country. If you prefer to make your donation to my friends directly, you can contact me individually and I will give you my friends´ account numbers. However, since their situation is quite unstable and unpredictable I think it´s safer this way.

Once they receive the money I will write another post to keep you updated on where it goes.

How does this sound? So yalla, make your donation and make my day!

Love. – And Free Syria.
